COLD WEATHER OPERATION/POINTER ADJUSTMENT

COLDWEATHER OPERATION

Block Heaters

CAUTION — Block Heaters

DO NOT leave optional block heaters plugged in for extended periods when temperatures may rise above 20oF, (-6.67oCelsius). The oil could “cook” inside the crankcase and damage the engine.

If the water system is not drained when the saw is not in use and temperatures fall below 32o F (0o C), damage may occur to optional water pumps.

Inextremecoldweather,optionalblockheatersmaybeused.Block heaters are installed directly onto the crankcase and are operated by plugging into a 110VAC electrical outlet. Be sure to use appropriate gauge wire when using extension cords and abide by all safety rules when using electical power, power cords, and extension cords. Do not use block heaters when the when temperatures are above 20o F (-6.67oCelsius).

Draining the Water System

When low temperatures fall below 32o F (0o C):

1.If the saw is equipped with an optional water pump, open the drain petcock on the pump and allow the pump to drain.Turn the water pump switch on for a few seconds to purge any water remaining inside the pump body.

2. Tilt the saw UP and BACK, to allow water to drain.

3.Tilt the saw FORWARD, to allow water to drain again.

4.If an air compressor is available, blow out the system by applying compressed air to the water inlet.

POINTER ADJUSTMENT

1.Lower the front pointer assembly (Figure 25).

2.Using 10-12 ft. (3-3.7 meters) of stringline, divide the length of the string in half and slide the string into one of the slots or gullets on the backside of the blade (as viewed standing in front of the pointer) SeeFigure 26, Item 2. Hold both ends of the string in one hand and pull the string taut (Item 3). Move your hand from side to side until both strings are touching both sides of the blade.

3. Adjust the pointer rod (Item 5) by loosening the lock knob (Item 4). Move the pointer directly over the middle of the two strings in your hand and tighten the pointer setscrew

to lock the pointer in position. Repeat this process for the rear pointer.

4.To raise the front pointer assembly (Item 1), first pull back and up on the pointer cable. Secure the pointer assembly in the desired raised position by locking the cable between the jaws of the cam cleat.
